Windsribe also has a big advantage for price with their "Build a plan" in that you can pick a few locations and only spend $3 a month without needing to deal with any coupons/sales or long term purchases.

There isn't a full alternative, but if you just want text chat with some voice chat added on there are options like Matrix.
How would I join a community without knowing anyone with that setup?
Google Pixel of some kind.
One of the only phone lineups with easy bootloader unlock, and also the only ones supported by GrapheneOS.
You can also use it as-is if needed without going crazy from ads and notifications everywhere like other brands tend to have.
Best bet is to disable the app using Canta + Shizuku and use another gallery app.
Out of the box I don't think windows can read common linux filesystems, but there is 3rd party software I've seen to give it that functionality.
I just do full system images for that reason, easier than trying to pick and choose what should be backed up. Used to use Veeam, currently using Synology Active Backup.
For online backups I don't due to size, but for local backups it's just way easier.
No ads on YT with Firefox + uBlock, not sure why your setup isn't working.
What's the alternative though, we have Chrome and Firefox as choices. Chrome is far worse than some issues with Firefox around CEO pay.
To install at minimum you'll need to likely shrink existing partitions and create new ones for linux if you don't want to wipe the drive, that would be a dual-boot setup with Windows still installed along side. Or you can just wipe the drive entirely and have only Linux.
Regarding the files you should already have backups of anything important, if you don't, set it up ASAP.
Messing with partitions can easily cause data loss if something goes wrong.
You also never know when hardware failure, malware, power surges, lightning strikes, or whatever other disaster will happen and cause data loss. 1 copy of files might as well be 0 copies.
It's a public site that'll be backed up regularly, what kind of important data would you be putting out publicly?
Why delete the account? There's no harm is just leaving it and not using it anymore.
